> Korea Non-covered Medical Price Statistics answers questions about disclosed non-covered prices in Korea.

It does not answer which hospital is cheapest; for an institution’s price, use HIRA’s official service.

## What do these non-covered price questions cover?

Questions about the data, its sources and how to use it, not questions about individual hospitals.

## What else do people ask about non-covered prices?

### Where can I see official non-covered prices in Korea?

HIRA publishes them by item and institution on its official service. This site summarises them into ranges.

### Why does this site not show the price at each hospital?

A table of institution names and prices can work as comparative medical advertising. Use HIRA’s official service for an institution’s price.

### Are the prices official?

The underlying prices are disclosed to HIRA. Minimums, quartiles, medians and USD values are calculated by this site.

### Why are some figures marked as pending?

A figure is shown only after the disclosure year and reference date are confirmed.

### Does this site collect personal data?

No. There are no forms, and the tools calculate in your browser without sending or storing anything.

### Is a non-covered price the final amount I pay?

Not necessarily. Actual charges can differ, and covered parts of care are billed separately.
